Diamond Recovery Ring - Soft Shackle Pulley

There is an issue with the snap ring grooves not being the correct distance apart. There was another issue with the holes in the side plates not being exactly the right size. There has never been a snap ring thickness issue but it is possible that they sourced some that we don't know about and created that issue.
All I know is what they told me but I had my TRE snatch block back in a few days and the wheel spins easily now. It might actually be a different one, cant be exactly sure but they took care of it quickly.
Regardless of what they said, here is how it works.
The snap ring grooves have a minor .002 tolerance larger than the snap ring.
The snap ring is an industry standard thickness for a 2.5" external retaining ring.
Even if you were to find some out spec snap rings some place, they won't fit into the groove and the groove width has not changed since day 1 and it is run a smidge tighter than spec to hold the two side plates a bit less rattly than they could be.
The width between the two grooves is what determines how well the pulley turns.
Is there a WRG snatch block in the future? If so I’m a buyer of 2 of them.
Given the reasonable price I decided to order one of these. I am pretty impressed with the quality. I'm sure a real snatch block is better but this would be better than nothing for sure.

Proof that the chinese will rip off anything, even garbage designs!
They have their reasons.

Pretty good rip off here. They must have found the factory making the arms. Still have the Currie part number forged in....

This is some next level nonsense. Wow.
I found it yesterday and forwarded it RockJock. They seemed surprised and said they have been fighting copies a lot recently

Did anyone notice the arms are on backwards?
They are entirely shameless when it comes to stealing IP. I understand how it works over there, but this was a little too much to digest even after knowing.
